Ok, its that time of year again. I am on the search for a new pair of wellies. They have to be waterproof, easy to get on and off and most importantly warm. I dont want to spend anymore than £100. I know alot of ppl have recommended La Chameau boots but I cant afford the really exspensive ones. I have seen the all tracks at around £60. Are these any good? what about aigle boots? Any other suggestions?
 
I love my muckboots - the riding one, so you don't have to change to ride, and your feet stay warm on the horse. So warm you can't wear them in Spring as your feet get too hot!

I don't get on with wellies as no matter how thick my socks are I always get blisters so I have a pair of these

They have a lovely fleecy lining and keep my feet toasty warm. They need spraying with a waterproof spray though round the seal where the rubber joins the rest of the boot

I ride in mine too :)

I saw some of these in MoleValley... how are they for fetching horse in the mud and hosing off?

:D Same here, had mine on for the last few weeks and can't see them coming off til March!!! Love them to death, granted after a few weeks they do become a tad stinky...but that's feet for you!!!:D I ride in mine, muck out and walk the dogs and for £50 a pair I think it's great value for money. I've bought a new pair every winter for the last 4 years and won't waste my money on anything else.
 
I work at a trekking centre which is at the top of a hill so as you can probably guess, winter is pretty cold and very muddy. I got myself a pair of riding muck boots and i am one of few that doesn't end up complaining about cold feet so i would deffinately recommend a pair of these :)
 
Alot of ppl like the riding muck boots then? Reasonably priced too. My old pair are hunters and split within a couple years. Must say I am secretly glad though as they made my feet sooo cold and now I have an excuse to buy a new pair.

A woman at my yard had those Woofwear boots. OH asked me once why she was wearing brushing boots on her legs. Lol!
 
I think the riding version are nearer £70 than £50, but I've done two winters with mine... There have been a few people on here that have said they have split quickly, but mine have been great. My husband's hunters have lasted two years when other people's have split. Hunters now do a neoprene lined version thatare meant to be warmer, if you're a hunter fan. Who knows!
 
I have dunlop purofort thermal boots. They dont look pretty but they are comfy and warm, even without socks and have great grip. They are the sort worn on fishing boats and in the food industry
 
Not sure how large your feet are but if you are of a bigger foot...Horze have these on offer:

I wear the Mudrucker riding boots which are copies of the Muckboots, paid £45 inc postage on ebay for my last pair a few months ago. They do split on the toe if you wear them riding but to be honest none of the boots I've ever bought even those at £200 have lasted longer than 6 months as they are worn riding, mucking out and walking dogs so I'd much rather spend less and be warm and toasty!
 
The muck boot riding ones are great value if you don;t want to spend a fortune. Loads of my friends had them but I always resisted as I really don;t like the look of them, but last winter I gave in and bought a pair and they really are warm. Agree with the comment about not being able to wear them on warmer days though, you boil!

Standard hunters are rubbish for winter, but the more expensive hunters are much better. I had a pair of leather lined ones which were about £175 (!!) but they lasted me 7 years. I still have them, they leak now but are great otherwise.
 
I have the all tracks and they have served 4 years so far and still look great but as for warmth... about the same as a hunter welly... bloody freezing!
 
Cheap and cheerful farm wellies from the agri merchants (under 10 quid), furry thermal insoles from the pound shop (a quid or two), then a few pairs of hi-tech really warm ski-ing socks to rotate, one on, one off, one in the wash:)

I think the layering technique worked well for me in the past, apart from I had to wait until my fingers thawed out to pull off the multilayers of socks I'd pulled on :rolleyes:
 
After having wet feet tonight, I am also looking for a new pair of boots. I have been on ebay and searched for 'Muck Boots. The wellies and the riding boots look to be identical? Some of them have fur lining? Those of you who said they are really warm, was that the thermal fur lined ones or just the 'normal' ones?
I do not ride, just want yard boots to keep feet dry and warm in the yard.
Many thanks :)
 
Muckboots without a doubt. Warm and toasty (to the point of sweaty lol). Waterproof. About £60/£70. Get the riding ones.

Only drawback is that they crack :(. I've worn mine loads, even in the 'summer' - I just turned the tops down and it let the air flow round :D
